Chapter 779, Truth or Dare (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)

At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, members of the Imperial Clan and the current political elites noticed the absence of the Jiang Family, which caused some unrest among them, and the fact that the Emperor had not mentioned the often-sick Empress Dowager only added to their speculation.

To everyone's surprise, the Empress Dowager arrived in the middle of the banquet.

Upon this, the more perceptive members of the Imperial Clan, including the senior Prince Yong, shook their heads inwardly.

This time, the Empress Dowager had truly lost face, both internally and publicly. With the Emperor's firm stance, she could only descend the steps she had set for herself.

Why bother?

Even between mother and son by blood, such turmoils shouldn't occur, let alone when they are not related by blood.

Feeling the peculiar gazes cast upon her, the Empress Dowager struggled to maintain a dignified smile, her resentment towards the Emperor's ingratitude growing ever stronger.
